Depends on your board. As General E said, My MSI 790FX-GD70 boards 1st PCI-e slot sits high enough that the vid card sticks into the 5.25'' bay about a half inch, but the 6 pin connectors are just outside the bay.

I do think however that Enigma just wanted to see my Scout again, so in the spirit of being helpfull.... here's a pic

As for the contest, I agree all the contestants are winners just for putting their Scouts in the ring for scrutiny. I'll Pm you E with my initial thoughts tomorrow.

I have a V2 Power Color 5870 on the second slot, but mine is water cooled. The power connectors are on the back, I really don't seeing this card fitting in most cases, unless you water cool it or the above.

Those are both great solutions.. For the money. You couldn't do those yourself for cheaper. I would definatly go for it and I think I am going to buy a pair of those myself.. Thanks for the heads up on the product.. Great find and rep up.

With the connection of the Transformers and Terminator 5 this build has what it takes to say I am a Man if you don't believe me I will kick your Axx. I love this build for its HOT Lighting and it's Transformer theme as well as the Blue Fan controller in the front. It is simple and it is unique. Beautiful Build.

Black IceSimplicity at its finest. With the board and the Matching CPU Cooler you can tell that the Builder took alot of thought in this build though it looks pretty simple. No It is what is known as a Sleeper. Back in the Day of the "HOT RODS" you took off all indications on the outside and let the Insides set the pace. This one does just that. Gorgeous Build.

Evil262With the upside down Goat's head on the CPU cooler and the dark look along with the eerie Red lighting, this build looks as if it just crawled out of the Pit of Hell. It is dark, impressive and a very nicely done Build. Also Beautiful.

DJ_OXyGeNe_8Marty McFly.. Watch out. This this Build is back to the future. It looks like the "Flux Capacitor" is on the edge and 88 mph has just been reached. The blue does it for this build. I too like to mix lighting colors and this one does it quite nicely. Great Build and Beautiful.

CigarbugWhat impresses me about this build is the Engineering that went with running the Cooling Loop but mostly it is the way that the radiator is offset to the Rig. Those Jigs that was used on the radiator looks great and it gives it a custom and stock Feel in the same measure. The flames and the Skull give it a unique personality all its own and it is Very Cool.

Rogue1266Rogue's build is very well known to me and many of the Old school Guys. This build was done in the early days of the Scout when we were blazing trails with Ideas and concepts and I loved his V6 Emblem though I think he should have Ebayed a V12 Emblem still the build is a favorite of mine and will be that way for years to come.

GoodInkThis Build speaks for itself. The Front end of this build says back off and don't touch or your may come back with a nub. I love this build for its overall attention to detail and it's flair for the dramatic. It is a Classic in every since of the word and Beautiful.

Kev_b was my first member on the CMSSC. He stood beside me though thick and thin in the beginning when this Thread was just a small Collection of people wanting to help each other. His building techniques are extraordinary and I love some of his other builds as well as I like this. The build is a mixture of simplicity and Dramatic but just a tight little bit. With all the sound proofing in this rig... this has got to be the quietest Scout in the World. Bar None. This is an Exxcellent build and a great Builder.

Overall. The entire collection of builds are special in their own way and I wanted to let you know what I felt about these builds. That they all are winners in their own way. I will pick three of these before the final winner is announced but please know that you are all winners to me. All of you.
